Modular roof and headliner assembly

摘要

A modular headliner assembly for an automotive vehicle comprises a planar center support mat adapted for mounting to a roof panel of the vehicle. A perimeter support mat extends outwardly from the outer periphery of the center support mat and is adapted for mounting to the roof panel of the vehicle. The perimeter support mat includes a main portion and an outwardly extending flap portion pivotally connected to the main portion by a living hinge. An airbag module is mounted to an interior surface of the main portion of the perimeter support mat adjacent the flap portion. The airbag module includes an inflatable airbag and an airbag canister for inflating the airbag. The flap portion is movable between a closed position covering the airbag and an open position pivoted away from the airbag providing a passageway for deployment of the airbag through the headliner assembly when inflated by the airbag canister. One or more additional components, such as a grab handle, coat hook, accessory light and speaker are also mounted to the exterior surface of the perimeter support mat.
